Dear Municipal Leaders,

New York State offers a multitude of grant opportunities for local governments. 

For example, there are grants to assist municipalities with improving infrastructure, building resiliency and protecting the environment, supporting area businesses and growing jobs, and implementing shared service agreements that result in significant cost savings for taxpayers.

As a former Town Supervisor, I know navigating these programs can be challenging and time consuming. I also know how helpful grant funding can be to a community. That is why my office created this resource guide.

Our ‘Local Government Grant Guide’ is intended to help you and your team identify programs that may be beneficial to our shared communities. 

While the primary focus of this guide is NYS based grants, we have included information on a few private programs as well. And I encourage you to reach out to your federal representatives for information on national programs. 

Should you decide to apply for a grant, please let me know if you would like my office to provide a letter of support.

In the meantime, I will continue to provide you, via email, with regular updates on funding opportunities. 

As always, I thank you for your public service and your partnership. It is both a pleasure and privilege to work with you.

Excelsior!
